Bro, my personal experience in using coral sand is that your fronts will appear wash out due to the white sand. This is more evident under lighting condition.
Ever consider using black quartz sand?

Bro,

i used a combination of sand.

30% Sudo aquarium sand and 70% Coral sand. It will darkened the colour of the sand a little.
